Engelbosteler Damm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engelbosteler Damm

The Engelbosteler Damm ( E-Damm for short ) in the Hanover district of Nordstadt is the main shopping street and the oldest and most important road connection in the district. Engelbosteler Damm divides the district into an eastern part, which was rebuilt after 1946, and a core area that was renovated in the 1980s. It was named after Engelbostel , which is now part of the city of Langenhagen .

course

The Engelbosteler Damm begins at the Christ Church , where it connects to the street An der Christuskirche , which in turn begins at the intersection of Klagesmarkt , Schloßwender Strasse and Arndtstrasse . In a north-north-westerly direction, it crosses the Nordstadt district for a length of about 1.5 km and ends at the level of the Hanover-Nordstadt S-Bahn station , where it joins the Schulenburger Landstrasse .

A large part of the street is lined with shops, supermarkets, restaurants, kiosks, doctor's offices, bars and pubs. The area between Christ Church and Kopernikusstrasse is particularly inviting for a stroll. The further course to around the corner of Bodestrasse is also characterized by shops and service providers. On a short stretch between the junctions at Am Kläperberg and Bodestrasse , the street is closed to car traffic and designated as a pedestrian zone .

history

Little chronicle

Stumbling blocks in front of - today's - Engelbosteler Damm 2 in memory of Rolf, Rosa and Jochen Becher , deported to the Riga ghetto in 1941
One of several pages from the address book of the city of Hanover from 1942 on Engelbosteler Damm

A Knüppeldamm already existed in the 15th century as a forerunner of today's Engelbosteler Damm, which led to Engelbostel as a country road through embankments .

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover and at the beginning of industrialization , the chemist Carl Hornemann moved the paint and ink factory he had recently founded to Engelbosteler Damm. This factory, which was then taken over by Günther Wagner , later became Pelikan AG . Hornemann honor was attached to the e-Damm zoom-reaching part of Rehbockstraße in Hornemannweg renamed.

In 1845 the Engelbosteler Damm got its current name.

After the proclamation of the German Empire and the founding period that followed, the "E-Damm" was the first street in 1886 to be covered with the rammed asphalt patented by the director of the Deutsche Asphalt-Aktiengesellschaft (DASAG) Emil Heuser . In the same year Heinrich Wilhelm Appel opened a shop in Engelbosteler Damm 72, which was soon to develop into the world-famous delicatessen wholesaler Appel Feinkost . In 1955 the architect Ernst Zinsser built a new factory building for Appel Feinkost on this site.

At the end of the 19th century, the “Engelbostelerdamm district ” elected the architect Friedrich Remmer as mayor in 1894 and thus to the Hanover board of directors .

In 1912 Johann Weishäupl , who would soon become one of the largest meat product manufacturers, opened his first shop on E-Damm before moving to Klagesmarkt .

Leo Brawand , journalist and co-founder of the Spiegel , moved from Puttenser Felde to Engelbosteler Damm in his youth and during the Nazi era . He described his experiences in detail in the book Die Menschen vom Damme (see literature).

In front of the Engelbosteler Damm 2 house, stumbling blocks by the artist Gunter Demnig remind of the Rolf, Rosa and Jochen Becher family who were deported by the National Socialists to the Riga Ghetto in 1941 .

The tunnel was opened in 1993 as the last section of the C-route. This reaches the surface via a ramp shortly after the Kopernikusstraße subway station . It then follows the course of Engelbosteler Damm in the street space and passes the An der Strangriede and Nordstadt station stops .
